During the past twenty years there has been a dramatic increase in
obesity in the United States. An estimated thirty percent of adults
in the US are obese; in 1980, only fifteen percent were. The issue
is gaining greater attention with the CDC and with the public
health world in general. This book will offer practical information
about the methodology of epidemiologic studies of obesity, suitable
for graduate students and researchers in epidemiology, and public
health practitioners with an interest in the issue.
The book will be structured in four main sections, with the
majority of chapters authored by Dr. Hu, and some authored by
specialists in specific areas. The first section will consider
issues surrounding the definition of obesity, measurement
techniques, and the designs of epidemiologic studies. The second
section will address the consequences of obesity, looking at
epidemiologic studies that focus on cardio-vascular disease,
diabetes, and cancer The third section will look at determinants
obesity, reviewing a wide range of risk factors for obesity
including diet, physical activity and sedentary behaviors, sleep
disorders, psychosocial factors, physical environment, biochemical
and genetic predictors, and intrauterine exposures. In the final
section, the author will discuss the analytical issues and
challenges for epidemiologic studies of obesity.
